Anchored in Generosity – 40 years of transforming lives and communities! 🎉✨
What a spectacular evening aboard The River Queen, as United Methodist Communities a 110+ Year organization, celebrated the Foundations’ incredible milestone with our 40th Anniversary Celebration Cruise in Brielle, NJ. 🌊🌟 The clouds parted just in time for us to embark on this unforgettable journey, filled with joy, reflection, and gratitude.
As a UMC Board of Directors and Foundation Board Chair, it was a proud moment to see this event brought together. Complete with UMC leadership Mark Lenhard CEO, executive team members, foundation board members, patrons, and most cherished of all—our community residents, Rosa and Eva, who shared touching memories from their 25 wonderful years in the Covenant community. 🌼 Their heartfelt stories remind us of the profound impact of generosity and community spirit, making this celebration even more meaningful.
A huge thank you to everyone who has supported UMC throughout these 40 years, ensuring we continue to create vibrant senior living communities and serve with excellence. The astonishing accomplishments to new Fabulous Foundation Team Jim Roberts, VP of UMC Foundation, Maureen Stern, Director of Special Events, Gary Englestad, Director of Transformational Giving, Rebecca Roe, Director of Communications and Stewardship, Marie Kane and Melanie Dixon.
